Never participate in job slowdowns, disruptions or activities designed to extend the job or create overtime.

Always strive to conduct ourselves in a way that promotes a positive image of the IBEW.

As with Stewards, IBEW members employed in management/supervision must have knowledge of the Code of Excellence program principles, its relationship to IBEW organizing and overall membership responsibilities to the Brotherhood. Yet, more importantly, members in these roles need to know how effectively managing their jobs will be a corresponding obligation to the Code of Excellence program. IBEW rank and file members honoring the Code of Excellence program will rightfully have similar expectations of Brothers and Sisters in management/supervision, with these being in the areas of:

Management responsibilities to the collective bargaining agreement.

Total acceptance of supervisory positions and related responsibilities.

Ample job layout/directions to minimize down time and maximize employee productivity.

Availability and timely delivery of necessary materials.

Proper number and type of tools and equipment to ensure job progress.

Maintenance and upkeep of tools and equipment.

Storage and protection of employer and employee tools and equipment.

Employ adequate number of employees to perform efficiently or, conversely,

limit number of employees to the work at hand
